DON'T STAY HERE
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (medium)
Liked Nothing
Disliked Pitches were water logged, no suitable pitches for a trailer tent, not disability friendly as you are not allowed to drive to your pitch. No even ground, absolute swarms of midgies make it impossible to stay. Emailed to complain and have been ignored. Terrible customer service. Also there is no wifi as advertised.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (medium)
Liked I would advise anyone who has a larger tent not to book here.
Disliked We arrived after paying for electric grass pitch to and requesting that the 2 bookings be pitched together to be told just pitch were you like. There was tents in front of the electric boxes that were not using or paid for them which resulted in myself and niece hook up not reaching any electric. The area on which we pitched ran at a slop and was water logged.

clean facilities, clear signs, quiet, and level pitches
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked a small, quiet and comfortable camping site great for children and dogs! We stayed for only 2 nights in a tent. We loved the pond and the family of ducks. Showers and toilets are clean and comfortable. We had no issues at all.

Liked Loved our pitch, which was spacious and quite private, the site was lovely.
Disliked Had family in a rental caravan/lodge, which unfortunately ended up with camper vans directly in front, literally at the end of the balcony.
